What will most likely happen if a person does not consume the minimum daily requirement of carbohydrates? the body will break down chitin from the bones. the body will break down glycogen from the liver. the body will break down glucose from the blood. the body will break down galactose from the pancreas.

The body will break down glycogen from the liver.

If a person does not consume the minimum daily requirement of carbohydrates then the body will break down glycogen from the liver.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates in our diet is the main source of energy. Carbohydrates are digested into their simplest form i.e. glucose and are then stored in our body in the form of glycogen. Glycogen is mainly stored in the liver. Whenever the blood glucose level reduce, glucagon hormone is released from pancreas and it stimulates the break down of glycogen from liver. The process is called glycogenolysis during which glucose is produced and serves as an energy source. If a person is under fasting or not taking carbohydrates, initially glycogen breakdown will occur and on prolonged fasting body will start using fats as the energy source. During the fat catabolism, ketone bodies are produced resulting in metabolic ketosis.
